A month ago I posted a
question about a situation I
put myself in with my ex
employeer. Basically to cap what happened I worked at a daycare where a lot of illegal stuff was taking place. Example: off the books pay, violation of health dept. and she treated her staff like c**p. I was hired under false pretenses. I wrote all of this on merchant circle, a web site designed specifically for rating and posting your personal opinions of a business. I ananomously posted why I didnt think it was safe for parents to consider not taking their children there. Based on all truth and things i personally experienced there. Now im not the only one who has seen these things. All the past and current employees hate her and witness this stuff all the time. She cut breaks and hours and changed our pay to twice a month all in one day.
I received a letter from her lawyer stating that if i continue to slander her business by but not limitated to internet postings, verbal communication and so one that she would pursue a lawsuit against me. The letter claims she lost business because of my comments which is bs because before i left she wrote a staff news letter stating from her own mouth that the summer would be slow esp. during the months of july and aug. (the same month a aparently cost her loss of business.) i held on to the news letter and am willing to use that to defend myself that i did not cause her loss of business. i know of 3 parents who have left and 2 of them were layed off and one whom im friends with put her child with an ex employee of my boss. she was debating taking her kids out b4 i even left.
my problem is, when it comes to having people as witnesses in court its hard to accomplish because i dont know many people personally and the chances of them prob wanting to envolve themselves with all of this is likely not going to happen. i do have 2 people who said they would testify against her if this does go to court whom are both ex emplyees of hers.
what are the chances that this will go to court and win?
does she have a better defence than me or will it be hard for her to prove im even the one who posted it since it was done ananomously.
please respond nicely. i dont need to be insulted. there always seems to be someone who has to be negative. keep it to yourself.
thanks
